OUR FOOD PHILOSOPHY

Supported by a talented culinary brigade, our carefully curated menus complement Crowne Plaza Sydney Coogee Beaches’ brand pillars of sustainability, authenticity and simplicity.

SUSTAINABILITY.

By partnering with Oz Harvest, one of Australia’s best-known charities, we’re on a mission to banish excess food waste and further industry skills and education for at-risk youth. We’ll work together in two areas:

1.FOOD RESCUE: Fighting food waste through the rescue of surplus food across the hotel. In the future, we’ll also look to use Winnow Vision which is a new tool that allows kitchens to automatically track and reduce food waste using artificial intelligence.

2.SUPPORT THE ‘NOURISH’ PROGRAM: Our parent company, IHG, provides 10 scholarships for at-risk youths (16-25 years old) to earn a Certificate I or II in Hospitality. We’ll support this exciting initiative by providing on-the-job training, mentoring, hotel visits, work experience and more.

Our menus are designed to cater to today’s well-travelled and diet conscious guests. No longer will a side salad on a side table suffice for guests with special dietary requirements, as there will be plenty of choices for everyone on every menu, reducing the need for over-catering.

AUTHENTICITY.

Our chefs use locally sourced seasonal produce as the staple for our menu design.

But unlike many others, our flavours take you on a journey around the globe, starting in Australia, where we use indigenous Australian bush foods and herbs and spices that are ethically sourced and sustainably harvested from Illawarra Community Gardens. For dishes from further abroad, we have studiously researched traditional ingredients and cooking methods from across the coastlines of the globe.

SIMPLICITY.

We believe that the recipe for a successful Meetings or Event is simple. Partner with clients to design events that perfectly balance dynamic daytime content, with soul nourishing food that connects guests through shared immersive dining experiences so that they leave us feeling connected to the destination on an emotional level.

To inspire guests and facilitate networking, we created a collection of events and menus that invite guests outdoors to taste, breathe and embrace the natural delights of Coogee.

Interactive elements, Instagram worthy grazing feasts and fork style dining allow guests to move freely, snap a selfie and effortlessly connect with colleagues and friends.
